Don't even think about it!
I have 450 hrs TT of which 223 on an Airbus. Thomas Cook/Alteon took my £32k and yet it didn't turn into a job with them at the end. I'm 45, which was ridiculously late to go for a jet job, but even at half that age it's tricky.
I now don't own a single brick in my house. Mate it's not a good position to be in. I have had to take the philosophical view, enjoy the fact that I flew a big fat jet for a bit.
I'd say get into politics...be an MP....any eejit can do it and there's still plenty of money in that.
Aviation's obsession with SSTRs is utterly immoral. It stinks to high heaven. If only I hadn't been so blinded by the romance of jets!
